House Bill No. 2103 introduces new regulations for the Judicial Nominating Commission in Oklahoma. It mandates that any member of the Commission who is related to an applicant within the third degree of consanguinity or affinity must recuse themselves from the decision-making process regarding that applicant. If a member fails to comply with this requirement, they will be removed from the Commission and permanently barred from future appointments. Additionally, the bill requires Commission members to disclose any contributions made to the judicial campaigns of applicants within ten days of receiving the final list of applications. This disclosure must be documented on a prescribed form and made publicly accessible on the Commission's website until the position is filled.

Furthermore, the bill specifies that the address recorded by the State Election Board will be used to determine the eligibility of Oklahoma Bar Association members for appointment to the Judicial Nominating Commission. This legislation aims to enhance transparency and integrity within the nomination process while ensuring that potential conflicts of interest are appropriately managed. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
